Winding through the quaint town of Beltsville, the Little Paint Branch River tucks under canopies of overhanging trees, edges its way through beautiful rock formations, and leads into a local park filled with green space. This peaceful waterway packs plenty of character and serves as a perfect example of Beltsville's relaxed and charming vibe.

Equidistant between Washington, DC and Baltimore and part of the lively, illustrious Capital Region (i.e., an ideal spot to start this next season in your life!), Beltsville doesn't leave city life too far behind. Within a 30-minute drive, you can find yourself strolling along the Potomac waterfront, retracing steps of the founding fathers in the nation's capital, or taking a much-needed weekend retreat in Bethesda.

But what's the perfect getaway without the peace of mind that your property is in good hands back home? That's where ADT can help. In a league of its own with over a century of experience, ADT offers 24/7 professional monitoring of motion detectors, window sensors, and smoke alarms. Plus, you can manage your system from almost anywhere with remote smartphone control.

With that peace of mind, head out for an easy hike or fishing trip to nearby Lake Artemesia. Just make sure to take a dreamy photo with the gazebo.
